Someone said on Swamplot that they like the new lights... are the lights up already? Perhaps they just mean in the renderings.
As of a few days ago, I haven't seen any lights on.

I've been wanting to make a thread for the new season for a while but really haven't been sure what kind of team we have so far this season. It is apparent with many roster changes, some new faces and old, that this team is very much different than last years.
So far the young season for the Rockets has been dominated by injuries. With Pat Bev currently moving in and out of the disabled list, on which Terrance Jones is becoming a main stay with his injuries and D Howard joining him as of recently.
I know many people around the league and probably here, who follow basketball are scratching their heads as to how such a team can be 16-4 out of the gate.
This team has a lot of scrappiness to them and their three point game has been outstanding thus far.
Can they be a team that can go far in the post season? Are they a better team than last seasons? Have we just gotten lucky so far this young season?
Curious as to what Haifers think about this 2014-15 Rockets team.

The little octagon looking building (Solvay?) will be demolished to make way for phase two of the current project.
Do we know yet what phase two for this project or might be?

A pretty scathing piece from a local Kirby neighbor about the Hanover River Oaks
Tommy Dickey tried for a while to get the city to “abandon” Steel Street, so that the oak trees would no longer be in the right of way and the developer could do whatever he wished with them. He met with success at last when Hanover Co., with presumable help from the planning commission, came up with a scheme that would fly: present the plan as developing only a portion of the street, get everyone accustomed to the idea of losing the incredible vista, and take care of the rest piecemeal.
Before the planning commission meeting on August 21, the developer announced that only five trees would be affected, and that the high-rise involved only a section of Steel Street. Since then, however, things have been moving rapidly, as the rest of the property has been sold off. Dickey apparently didn’t hold out for a higher price for the rest of Steel Street, afraid of possible resistance.

I believe this is still the plan Monarch
Looks like this is finally moving forward.

I assume they are hoping to have some external illumination as per the sky terrace facing buffalo bayou

It would be wonderful if this could be done by the Super Bowl along with 609 Main and the host of other projects Downtown.
I hope we will have at least a few buildings still under construction downtown come Super Bowl, that way all those that come to this city will see how fast we are growing and not assume the completed buildings have been there all along.

Wow, this building moving quick. They'll be rising above street level soon. This is like the fastest construction of any project yet I think...
Faster than Skyhouse?

What is the white streak in the tower cam?
Maybe some kind of white powder they put down on the dirt for the excavator? No idea but curious too

The rumbling of the windows where I was (811 Main St) was extremely intense as the explosives went off.
I will say, in your video once it starts to go off, I thought it was funny to see how many lights in the building next to you quickly turned on

I have no remorse for the jumper though, suicide is about the single most selfish thing a person can do, I understand they aren't in a right state of mind, but they leave behind family, friends and other loved ones that will always wonder if there was something they could have done to keep this person they love in their lives.
I would have 100% agree with you if I hadn't gone through a similar experience myself. It isn't just being in the wrong state of mind. When every painful thought in your head and every fiber of your being tells you that you are better off dead, thinking about how any other person feels in that moment is the farthest thing in your mind.
People who are depressed enough to commit suicide don't have a few months of depression, but maybe years on going. Being beat down that much and for that long takes a toll, and sadly ending the suffering of mental illness by any means can be too tempting for some.
It's a tragic way to go for everyone involved.

I thought I heard this too but it doesn't appear to be true. Look at slides 8 and 21. It seems that they are CLOSING the ADLA (both sides) from the underground garage entrance southward. Thereby fully connecting GRB to Disco. ADLA will be four lanes of traffic (two in and two out) from the Northside of the GRB to the underground entrance only.
Am I missing something?
Edit.....
Now, if you look at the last picture in the post above, it makes sense. You can see that the "blue cube box" that is in disco now (stairs to garage), is in the rendering. The new space shown is permenant new "park" space that connects the GRB to disco. The road is completely gone in this section.
That's what I'm seeing as well...?
@Cloud713 I disagree that we have in fact determined that the road is completely closed off. It looks like the two lanes one way south of the underground garage are to remain open but can be closed for events.
If it is in fact closed permanently than these two slides must be wrong. There wouldn't be a car at the promenade or the two lanes
To me, the red posts on the south side of Disco Green seem to make it easy to put up a temporary canopy for events and to shut down the two lanes.
It looks like the posts are perfectly placed for a "gallery" canopy top.
I might be wrong but thats just how I understand the renderings

Gorgeous day and gorgeous pictures Triton. Thanks for the great updates. Props!
